JDM Time - Passo 2012

Aoa friends.
...
I have started this thread to share my new ride i.e. Toyota Passo 2012, so that people can get benefit from this thread and I can share my problems and get guidance from experienced members.
.
Before proceeding further I want to thanks to Allah Almighty, who has bestowed me (and all of us) with unlimited blessings? I want to thanks my parents for their incalculable hard work for us and family for the support? I am obliged to PW and its members who were always there to guide me esp. @muradi @huzaifa.haroon @karnol @us000 @asim867 @CerwinVega @villain @aliusman420 @Nabz90 etc.
.
First of all general details about the car:

On my way back got fuel tank toped and will see average after changing tyre. Currently getting 12~13 in the city. And tomorrow InshAllah will get the alignment done.

Bought from Unique tyre Islamabad, he had toyo as well but i haven't asked him for the price as according to him toyo is to soft and dont have steel mixed in the thread and is not good for rough roads, but good for suspension on the other hand little bit.

Nice purchase

155 m wide tire might be "narrow" for say a civic, for a 1 litre tiny dinky called passo there are many good reasons the engineers who made it came up with that number and exceeding it would lead to more harm then any perceived benefits. Why don't put in snow tires on paved roads for more grip if that is the only concern and nothing else matters :-D

Apart from pakwheels, my blogs can be also be viewed at http://tajziat.blogspot.com/

I wonder why my Passo's ac works chillingly well even at temperatures upto 49'c. Is it because of different head design? as it comes with air filter etc that fits Toyota aqua, not the one that fits older Passo/Vitz?

Dear ! We are discussing Passo here, not your loved Civic. Please check Brakes effectiveness at tire size 155/80 and 185/70. Modifications for any requirement is not refusal to skills of manufacturing engineers. One thing might be of less importance to one than to another due to changed conditions.
Please inform me disadvantages of wider tires. I will study and consider those disadvantages while deciding tires next time. Hope you do not get angry this time.

Question remained unanswered
Should I wash every corner of the engine without covering anything?

(there are no exposed connections and wires, and fuse box is properly covered sealed). so there wasnt any issue)

I also clean the engine without covering. As a general rule we should not excessively use water to help conserve it. Also some parts of the car/engine might be water resistant rather than water proof and may be harmed with excess water.

Hehe I was also discussing passo dear, when u write "say a civic" in angraizi it means just as an example. I have a 1.8 manual nissan (twice the torque then a passo, same weight, bigger dimensions) running on 185's which brakes flawlessly (again as an example, to make understanding the issue easier), so the concept of this dinky facing "braking problems" on the size at which the engineers who made it thought 155's would do great is kinda hilarious to say the least.

I wrote down the disadvantages just a page back, lemme copy them again for your ease :-)

Disadvantages of wider tires, specially in this one.

Reduced fuel average (In a car meant to give exceptional economy)Reduced acceleration (In a car this is extremely sluggish already)Screwed steering geometry (Not that its too sharp as stock)Greater stress on suspension (Not gonna get the same feeling after its redone even with claimed original parts)

Advantages:

Better road clearance (Since we have car braking humps all around out roads)Yo look (Look how cool my econo box looks)Psychological benefits in handling (Any track lap times to gauge them for a passenger vehicle)

In short...... why u do this :-/

U might wanna read this also, just in case you are looking to understand the issue. Otherwise if you are hell bent on sticking to over sized tires in small rides, you are not alone. Enjoy

About checking the braking effectiveness (interesting term), i have been checking them on same rides after swapping sets of rubber pretty often. Have you ?
